FACTS ABOUT FOWLS.
How the Poultry Yard Can Bc Made q
Profitable Adjunct to the Farm.


Profitable Adjunct to the Farm.
Iwish to call attention to the value
of milk-sweet, sour, thick or thin-for
poultry. Egg production l think is
decidedly the most paying result to be
obtained from hens, though many birds
will need to be raised to sell to replen-
ish layers too old to keep. In January,
'85, my fowls had only half enough
milk, and l sold from them about forty
five dozen eggs. In January, '86. we
sold almost none; and in the middle of
February they were far below their ac-
custoned work. I can attribute this
difference to nothing else but lack of
milk. The loss, at the time when eggs
are at the highest price, is considerable,
and do not intend that my fowls shall
ever again be without plenty of milk.
Now and then fowl will die. 1t may
be disease or hurt from some animal.
1 heard people say that the sharp par
ticles of bones killed them, and as this
looked reasonable I stopped feeding
bones. But the number of eggs lessened,
and recommended the bone-feeding,
with evident improvement. Possibly u
sharp piece of bone may occasionally
kill fowl, but so it sometimes does
man. Shall we therefore stop eating
meat or fishp A mill is advertised for
grinding bones for fowls but do not
know about it. I am we'll satisfied to
pound them with the head of light

for convenience.

every day neglect that eventually eats
into the farmers purse. A fowls giz-

for this destroys the best part-grease,

always rests among dead or dry leaves,
and has itself leaf-like wings, all spotted
over at intervals with wee speckles to
initiate the tiny spots of fungi on the
foliage it resembles. The well-known
stick and leaf insects from the same
rich neighborhood in like manner ex-
actly mimic the twigs and leaves of the
forest among which they lurk; some of
them look for all the world like little
bits Of walking bamboo, while others
appear in all varieties of hue, as il

pieces Of yellow foliage sprinkled with
the tints and molds of decay had of a
sudden raised themselves erect upon
six legs and begun incontinently to
perambulate the Malayan woodlands

which secure protection for themselves
by growing into the counterfeit pre-
sentiment of wasps or hornets, and so
obtaining immunity from the attacks
of birds or animals. Many of these
curiously mimetic insects are banded

Of their singing originals, and have
their tails sharpened, in terroren,, into
